4.0 out of 5 stars Just make sure you get a good one!, April 2, 2009

I got tired of waiting for Sony to release the 32GB memory stick so I bought one of these and two 16GB micro SD cards (all for less than the price of one 16GB memory stick!)

My PSP would only recognize the adapter intermittently, so I sent it back. The replacement worked perfectly and now I have a 32GB PSP.

Highly recommended, but be aware of the limitations of the adapter (according to the manufacturer):

*It can only be formatted and used in a device (Do not format or transfer data to it with computer's card reader).

*It is essentially a RAID device, so once you stick two cards in, they aren't hot-swappable (you'll have to reformat to use it after changing out a card).

*The micro SDs will have to be reformatted before use in another device (again, because it's a RAID).

Once you can work within its limits, it is a great device. Mine has worked flawlessly for six months now. Just keep returning it until you get a good one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bought for PSP, May 7, 2009

This review is from: PhotoFast CR-5400 MicroSD to MS Pro Duo Adapter Dual Slot (Electronics)

Grew tired of waiting for the 32 gig pro duo and its outrageous price...and ordered this beaut. Came in less time than they said...super prompt. Properly packaged. Picked up two Micro SD 16 gig memory sticks...followed instructions and formatted both cards in device with PSP. Worked perfectly right from word go. After formatting...29 gigs free. Immediately downloaded my blu ray ripped mp4's...over a dozen, stuck about fifteen of my cd's ripped to wave files and had room left over for Einhander and Killzone(no lag time for games different from pro duo cards)....with over 9 gigs left over!
No problems with the device...the micro sd chips are now permanent residents of the device. It fits perfectly in the pro duo slot...and I rarely remove it. A great buy for me. And when the micro sd 32 gigs come available...(its available only in asia only) I will pick up another device. No transplanting sd cards. A separate device I will purchase for each new set of cards. I won't be going back to Pro Duos. I have my eyes on the new sdxc cards. I will expect a new photo flash adapter specially configured to take the new sdxc format...if necessary.

3.0 out of 5 stars works with handycam...kinda but not really, December 11, 2008

I got this product with high hopes to use with the sony hdr-cx12 camcorder. after some fighting between formatting the cr-5400 with 2x8gb sdhc memory, the camcorder finally recognizes the memory card and will capture to the device. unfortunately, it would give me inconsistent results, therefore i'm now hoping to return the product.

such a let down, but for anyone interested to in having this work with the sony camcorder, i didn't have much luck :(
